My child started Happy Bear Learning Center 2 weeks ago, which is transitioning into Level Up Montessori's 5th location. What I really liked was their friendly staff, the classroom structure, their teaching style and program, the Lunch menu, and the spacious and quiet playground. Before visiting Happy Bear Learning Center, I toured a couple of other Montessori schools. I found that the student-to-teacher ratio was quite high, with around 28 to 35 students in one class. That felt overwhelming, and as an educator myself, I could only imagine how chaotic it must be for both the students and the staff. This made me decide to enroll my child at Happy Bear Learning Center, where I appreciated the more manageable class structure and the supportive environment for a child who is going to start first-time school. I also wanted to mention that Ms. Aruna, the Director, provided an excellent explanation of the program during my visit. I was particularly impressed by the generous discounts they are offering since the school is under new ownership. The owner was present for the tour as well and extended a generous waiver for both the deposit and the registration fees, making it an even more affordable option for families looking to enroll their children. Coming from a middle-class family, I felt it was important to find a school that offered quality education and care without overpaying. I'm so happy that my child has settled in very well and is getting one-on-one attention, and I appreciate receiving regular updates from the director and other staff members. After I visited Happy Bear Learning Center/ Level Up Montessori. I knew it was the right choice, and I began recommending it to my coworkers and family friends. I'm really glad I took the tour and decided right away that this is the school for my child. Thank you, Team!

I toured some schools close to freeways due to my travel commitment for work.. My child comes from a home daycare background and was starting preschool for the very first time. I visited Level Up Montessori School, which was previously the Happy Bear Learning Center. I took a tour in the morning specifically to see their daily schedule. I really liked the spacious classrooms with lots of natural sunlight and a spacious playground. It's nice to be in a quiet and safe neighborhood. I saw the students engaged in their activities, and my child joined them immediately when the Director, Ms.Aruna, asked join their activities, which made me realize my child felt very comfortable right away because the atmosphere was so friendly. I received a great discount on the tuition fee and had the deposit waived, which was very generous of the owner. I met both the Director and a staff member, and they seemed caring and friendly. It's my child's first week, and I'm so happy to see that he has settled in very well. I receive lots of updates through pictures and videos of his routine and daily activities. I get every detail, which is a huge plus point and something I didn't see with other schools I toured. Their lunch menu is also healthy, and I also have the option of packing something from home. I am very excited to see their events, public speaking, and school projects so that I get to see my child's participation. I believe that parents and school staff working together create a supportive environment with better social skills and confidence for children. I really appreciate the Level Up Montessori staff for taking care of my child so well.

My kid has been going to Happy Bear Learning for close to a year. It's an amazing organization with so much personal care and attention. I can see the difference in my kid, he is much more talkative and confident now. I will recommend this place to anyone looking for day care service for their kids.
